while i was still new to AH, i participated in a memorial flight for a fallen pilot  who, though i had only a brief chance to meet him, i remember very clearly.

we cut a few jokes.  he taught me a thing or two about how to come back to land...

that memorial flight was one of the most beautiful, fascinating  and surreal events that i have ever had the pleasure to participate in.

i found myself marveling at the actuallity that was so easilly tranferred to a simulated world.  the sadness for a man that id never seen eye to eye.  i remember telling people about it, about the distance i had crossed...about the thing that i had witnessed.  they looked at me as though i was strange...but i knew better...i knew that it was something real and tangible and honest.  something that i rarely see in the day to day...

it is that brief journey that i will never forget, and it is one of the main reasons that i have stayed.

brotherhood.


SEpilot.  may your skies remain forever blue.

I "met" a local chick in Yahoo chat once.  She came over.  We hit it.  Was fun.  One night stand.  I don't think her husband ever found out.  :eek:   (I didn't know she was married)

That's the last time I'll ever let that happen again, though.

Saw once asked me for my phone number and if he could take me out to dinner.

I also had a date with a nun once... I have to thank Orel for that. *mumbles something inpolite...*


Youuu bastige you were hiding like a girl when i came to umm... was that Brussel ? :D

It were supposed to be a surprise but ... ohh well..  never mind i will kick your balls next time.

However when we did play Diablo 1,  i meet like 3 ppl in real. 1 of them bought 5 computers from me, second was his girlfriend, that time she were just zero, but today she work in top management of mobile telecomunication company.
Thrid guy had a lot of new games, so i sometime meet him to get some of them. it were in mid 90s.  Later when i served at university instead of my millitary duty, i found that one of my colegues from university is friend with the boy who were burning CDs for me.

One day i got mad idea, that we could go and gang bang our AH squad leader, Mr. tresky plesky Airmessovsky. So i packed 2 pairs of underwear, Mbirdcz and we went to Italy by car. We did stay there for 2 days, then we went to Swiss.... We meet mr. Airmess and had a great time with him. he is cool guy. however im not sure what time he had with us, coz when we were leaving, he gave me some 2.5Kg of cookies :D

No i spoted that Nexx is living right next to us in Germany, so i playing with idea to visit him with Mbirdcz.  

We also invited some of our squad mates to the Czech, but non of them had balls to come yet...  they simply fear those 3rd world countries :D


oohhhh.. and i meet something like 3 Iranians trough internet whitch i meet in real as well. We still friends for past 3 years.

russian... email me and we can go shooting at yolo if you want.  I need to get back there and renew my membership anyway.  I like to take off during the week to shoot there so that there isn't a crowd.

:lol  

Saw pulled the same with me...and I'm in a different continent than him.  I told him, "Uhhh...I think I'm moving to Kentucky that weekend."  ;)   Unfortunately, Saw knew where that was...
